The A walk, led by Christine, is a linear from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding. A road leads to Askham Fell which is crossed (can be boggy in places) on the way to climbing Arthur’s Pike and Swarth Fell. Most of the height already gained is lost on the steep grassy descent to Mellguards. Poles will be useful here if you have them. Height is gradually regained on the ascent to Martindale and more steeply on the ascent of Beda Fell. The descent to Glenridding is via Boredale Hause.

From Side Farm the track climbs steadily to Boredale Hause continuing under Angletarn Pikes and around Angle Tarn towards The Knott, descending down beside Hayeswater Gill to Hartsop. Return to Glenridding is on footpaths back to Side Farm and Patterdale.
